Dave's Story

The Ultimate community servant

A lifelong Euclid, Ohio, resident, Dave was the ultimate community leader. Throughout his life, he touched lives in ways many of us will never know. He never expected anything in return.

Later in life, he found a new passion for bicycles and how they could change a community. In 2016, he joined the board of the Ohio City Bicycle Co-op (OCBC), full of ideas with a unique skill set he had developed over many years.

But in early 2017, he faced a devastating cancer diagnosis. Friends and family were stunned that symptoms failed to show up until it was too late. He was otherwise in amazing shape for 66, thanks largely to a level of fitness he developed thanks to bicycling. The community lost Dave in June, 2017, shortly after his 67th birthday.
